Meth To The Madness
High School | Learning
| March 13, 2014
(I teach conversational English classes at a school in Poland. I don’t speak any Polish and the kids are mostly fluent. I assign them role plays: one parent, one teenager coming home past curfew. This is what one group came up with.)
“Parent”: “Why are you so late? It’s 2 am. You were supposed to be at home at midnight! What have you been doing?”
“Teenager”: “I was learning with one of my friends and didn’t check the time. I’m sorry.”
“Parent”: “Oh yeah? What were you learning?”
“Teenager”: “We were learning meth!”
(Silence.)
“Teenager”: “Oh, s***, I mean math! Math! Math! I’m sorry!”
